An American Airlines flight from New York to New Delhi, India, landed safely in Rome on Sunday afternoon after it was diverted due to a security concern, which later proved to be “non-credible,” the airline said.

Two Italian military fighter jets flanked American Airlines Flight 292 as it arrived but the Federal Aviation Administration did not elaborate on what was the security issue aboard the plane.

A flight from New York to New Delhi had to be diverted to Rome because of a bomb threat. "This is particularly true if Russia assesses that the US cannot or will not support the European NATO countries in a war with Russia."
